Story starts in a dimly lit restaurant where there were a lot of couples present there. In the corner table there were a couple siting. Not really a couple but a male and female sitting there. The girl looked a little awkward seeing the settings she was nowhere interested in all of this now. The male was trying to make the atmosphere with a little less awkward with small talk. But seeing her small one-word response he drove straight to the point.

P: dekiye Ms Malik mein apse bohot pyar karta hu aj se nahi pichle ek saal se jab se app Ghatkopar Police thana mein ayi hai tabse pehle nazar mein pyar hogaya mujhe

HM: hume maaf kariye Mr Vidhrohi par hum apse pyar nahi karte appse kya ab hum sivaye apne duty ke kisi aur se pyar nahi kar sakete

AV: ab matlab? App pehle kisi se pyar karti thi?

HM: yeh humara personal masla hai Mr Vidhrohi but I really do appreciate your feelings but I am sorry I would never be able to reciprocate them but I do hope you find someone right for you. I will take my leave now.

AV: hmmm

Saying so she paid her side of the bill and immediately makes her way home. After a few days HM got transferred out to a different state the state she secretly wanted to return but never had the courage to come back. Being a member of the special police force she was used to be moved around from one state to other depending on the need of her expertise in that area. This was the first time she was in a state for so long and had made some great genuine relationships but she was excited to move on to her next assignment. Upon returning to Lucknow, she took charge of the MPT where she came face to face with people from the past she never wanted to face. but they all decided to keep it cordial and professional between them for the love of their duty. HM was there a few months and made a place in the heart of the locals and secretly the officers in her thana who grew to love and respect their MS even though they had a few issues with ideologies at first. But they say right happiness tends to attract evil eye and that's exactly what happened to her.

One day HM walked in to the thana with her usual dimpled smile and baton twirling between her fingers. She expected to see the usual baketi when she stepped in but was faced with everyone there standing there with a serious worried expression. There were a few more other officers there dressed in formals and a male standing in the middle with his back facing her. For some reason she felt her heart that she believed was dead resurrect at the mere sight of this male who stood in here. She looked around confused not understanding what was happening.

HM: Jai Hind

Everyone in the thana looked at her with despise and hate. She expected this when she joined the thana more than a year ago but not today. She questioned them sternly demanding an answer

HM: koi hume batayega humare thane mein yeh chal kya raha hai

The man who was till now staring at the wall turned around and spoke: app bataye Ms Malik chal kya raha hai. Hum toh yaha apko arrest karne hetu aye hai.

HM felt the floor under her feet slip away not only the man she was craving and hiding away from stood infront of her but he was saying that he was going to arrest her. She felt her eyes filling up with tears but she closed her eyes taking a deep breathe in to compose herself and questioned.

HM: app kehna kya chate hai Anu?

AS: Its SIR for you Ms Malik let me introduce myself to you hum hai Agent AS IB se aur hum yaha apko ghiraftar karne aye hai corruption charges par aur gher kanuni weapon suppliers ki madat karne ke jurm mein. Toh rishwat lehti hai app Ms Malik.

HM goes to him holding his hand: app kehna kya chate hai sir! Humne aise kuch nahi kiya hai! Anu hum sach keh rahe hai hum aisa kabi nahi kar sakte hai hum apnse farz se kabi bhi gadari kar sakte! App toh jante hai na hume

AS pushed her away: maryada ka ulanagan mat kariye Ms Malik app aj se iss inquiry ke khatam hone tak app suspend rahegi toh handover kariye apki gun

HM looks at him with eyes full of tears as she handed over her gun, cap and belt to him: humne aise kuch nahi kiya hai sir aur hum yeh sabit karke rahenghe.

She stepped back and took a look at her team who looked at her with suspicion. AS took her to the IB office where she was grilled and taunted by everyone.

AS: toh bataye Ms Malik yeh pad bhi aise hi rishwat leke aur favours deke bani hai kya app

HM looked up at him with hurt: apko aisa lagta hai?

AS: hum toh woh hi bhol rahe hai jo apke sathi ne kaha humse ki app rishwatkhor hai

HM tears flowing from her eyes as they turned red out of anger: hum nahi hai rishwatkhor! Humne humari har zimedari bina kisi swart ke nibayi hai!

AS: chaliye Ms Malik apke ghar chalte hai

HM looked up at him: kehna kya chate hai app

AS: ghar ki talashi leni hai hume

He signed the female officer as she dragged her out to her house. He kicked her door opened as he and his officers went around looking for evidence destroying everything that came in their way while she could just stand in corner and watch. AS who was in her closet where he found a little box that was full of memories. It was their memories, the memories of the love they shared or maybe share.
